Join Our Team as a Sheeter Operator!

As a Sheeter Operator at Green Bay Packaging, you are the first line of production. You’ll transform massive master rolls of paperboard into the precision-cut sheets that feed our high-speed printing presses. Operating our Sheeter Machines, you’ll balance mechanical skill with a keen eye for detail to ensure every sheet meets the exact specifications required for world-class folding cartons.

Key Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Precision Setup:
  Retrieve master rolls and use clamp trucks to load the backstand. You’ll thread the web and set slitters and knives according to work instructions.
• High-Speed Operation:
  Monitor the Sheeter to ensure it runs at peak efficiency, maintaining proper tension and consistent cut lengths.
• Quality Control:
  Conduct ongoing audits. You’ll check for squareness, sheet size accuracy, and surface defects to ensure the printing department gets a perfect product.
• Active Troubleshooting:
  Use your mechanical aptitude to "listen" to the machine, adjusting for web breaks, jams, or tension issues on the fly.
• Inventory & Logistics:
  Manage roll stock data using basic computer systems and ensure finished pallets are labeled and staged correctly using forklifts or pallet jacks.
• Safety & Maintenance:
  Keep a clean, safe workstation and perform basic preventative maintenance.
• Maintain strict tool accountability and hygiene (GMP) standards to ensure our paperboard packaging remains uncontaminated.

Qualifications

• Mechanically Minded:
  You enjoy understanding how machines work and aren't afraid to use tools to make adjustments.
• Quality-Focused:
  If the sheet isn't right, the whole plant slows down. You take pride in "doing it right the first time."
• Physically Active:
  You’re comfortable being on your feet up to 8-12 hours a day, moving between the control console and the back stands, and can lift up to 50 pounds.
• Safety-Certified:
  Experience with and/or ability to learn clamp trucks, forklifts, and electric pallet jacks.
• Adaptable:
  You’re ready to own the 2nd Shift (2:00 PM – 10:00 PM Monday - Friday)
• Initial training: up to the first 120 days of employment working on day shift, Monday–Friday, 6 am – 2 pm, (is preferred)
• Some overtime and weekend work may be required.

Want to Stand out?

To excel in this role, you will focus on the technical nuances that keep our production line seamless:

• Advanced Web Tension Control:
  Monitor and adjust brake systems and dancer rolls to prevent web-weave or stretching, ensuring consistent sheet dimensions from the start of the roll to the core.
• Precision Knife & Slitter Management:
  Set and maintain shear-cut slitters for clean, dust-free edges. You’ll be responsible for monitoring blade wear and ensuring "squareness" within tight tolerances (e.g., +/- 1/32").
• Sheet Handling & Stacking:
  Fine-tune the "overlap" and tape speed settings to ensure smooth delivery into the stacker, preventing jams and ensuring press-ready loads for our litho department.
